Is anyone else having trouble with the "sort type" option and how it works? (beehaw.org)

It seems like browsing All causes the sort to not work as intended, at least for me. When new posts are made by someone they pop in at the top of the website no matter what sort type I have selected (hot, active, new, old, most comments, new comments). Sometimes this is fine and refreshing the page puts the posts back in the expected order, but when many people are posting at the same time my page updates and adds these posts so fast I can't read or interact with any posts at all. Am I doing something wrong with my settings, or have I misunderstood how this is supposed to work? Is there a way to make the "updates" only happen when I refresh the page?

I am still trying to gather a collection of groups to subscribe to relevant to my interests, and having trouble with browsing All is making that a not very fun process.

I am using firefox mobile browser

Yeah this is a known bug with Lemmy that I've seen a few people mention. From what I can tell, it should be fixed in the next version of Lemmy.

thanks, good to know it's not an issue on my end I have to figure out alone. Do you happen to know any workarounds to turn off the "updates" from happening constantly? I'd rather have a static list that I have to manually refresh than this flood of posts, but if there isn't anything I can do no worries, thanks for explaining it.

I'm not aware of a workaround unfortunately. I'm not a fan of the live posts/comments either. I think it is one of those things that was fine up until recently when all of the major instances suddenly became a lot more active, so it wasn't a priority until then. From what I can tell, the fix is already done and it should be applied the next time we get an update to the Lemmy UI, but I'm not 100% clear on how releases and stuff work with Lemmy/LemmyUI so take that with a pile of salt.
